Question
If a person is reading Qur’aan sitting down in the mosque or elsewhere, and he reaches an ayah where a sajdah is prescribed, is it better for him to stand up to do the sajdah, or should he prostrate from his sitting position? Which is better?
Answer
Praise be to Allah.We know of no evidence (daleel) to suggest
that he should stand up in order to do sajdat al-tilaawah.
And Allaah is the source of strength. May Allaah bless our
Prophet Muhammad and his family and companions.
